today my phone dropped out of my pocket and took a bath in the toilet...it didn't survive; turns on, won't make calls, won't turn off without pulling battery and screen flickers.  So I got to deal with that and now have this really awesome old loaner phone until my replacement phone comes in (apparently have to wait till early february according to the processing email i got today...blah).  I use my phone for almost everything...calorie tracking, podcasts, ebooks, pinterest...I miss it already.

If you were a dude, this would just be a good excuse to go get a newer, better, cooler phone with a lot of features and gizmos you are never, ever gonna use. Or is that just me?  ::)

Guess twice whose brother has had two phones washed, and toilet dunked not one, but two iPad Touche's.... ;D

...or was it one phone and iPad washed and the same toilet dunked...hmmmm?

All complete accidents of course :) And a new or better one was always given...

And I think the current iPad is the fourth one since I remember something else happening to the third..... :-\

It was the newer cooler one with gizmos I don't need...my excuse was that my husband was getting one :)
I'm just glad I didn't have to replace it at full cost.

Found out today that the new one already shipped so at least I don't have to wait as long as I thought...i really don't like the loaner phone.

Go to a car accessory shop and buy some de-ionised water. Take the battery out of your phone. Flush your phone and the battery with the water at least three times. Shake out as much water as you can and then put the phone in the airing cupbord for 24 hours without the battery or cover on it. 95% chance it will work fine after this.

I'll try that the next time...what's an airing cupboar?  I had the order for the replacement placed within an hour of the accident...business phone and need to be able to make/receive calls.

I see these threads and I'm filled with the urge to start a "God is a Fluffy Pillow" thread.

I should be OK now when I see them, bless the creator Steve Reason for his foresight, providing foolishness with a place to go.

It could be a "God is ..... What?" thread.

God is a Cosmic Bulldozer.
God is Chicken Soup When You're Ill.
God is Watching You in the Shower.

I like your thinking MP, it could be like the classic 'Love is...' books.

God is a jacket potato.
God is a lemon meringue in the rain.
God is the first crap in the morning.

We should definitely have a 'God is....' thread, maybe with illustrations of a bearded old man in the 'Love is...' style to accompany each post

Given your sleep deprived state you're forgiven for not catching on  ;)
